Hi,

I'm wanting to count the total amount time this value "VAVE" is being assigned to a drop down column. I'm using a summary sheet to collect this data using formulas.

So in the request type column(drop down list) I want the total in this sheet. I also want a total by the Brand.

I keep getting an incorrect number, like 48 or 0. The correct answer should be 6 total.

I've tried these formulas:

=COUNT({CPR Request Type}, "VAVE")

=COUNTIFS({CPR Request Type}, "VAVE")

@Jillian M<\/a> an IF statement will do what you need.<\/p>

=if([Column Name]@row=\"Value\",1,0)<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]},{"discussionID":107883,"type":"question","name":"Moving closed \"tickets\" to a second sheet","excerpt":"I have a sheet where we log our support as it comes in.

As long as your destination sheet doesn't have the numbering column setup as an Auto Number, you should be fine. In your destination sheet, keep the numbering column as a \"Text\/Number\" column instead.<\/p>
